Herbal Medicine
What is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine is the use of naturally occurring, plant-derived substances for the treatment of illnesses. These products are mixtures of organic chemicals that come from any raw or processed part of a plant.
Herbal medicine has its roots in many cultures around the world and has been successfully used for more than a thousand years. The herbs prescribed by Rhonda will depend on your lifestyle, medical history and nutrition.
Herbal medications contain naturally occurring substances with biological activity and compounds from plants. These chemicals have been used to produce prescription drugs, which are synthesised chemically to combine the active ingredient of medicinal plants. Herbal medicines contain the whole herb and all the ingredients present in the herb prevent the many side affects often felt when taking synthesised chemical medicines.
Herbal products support holistic treatment. Herbs are administered in their pure, unadulterated form.
How Does Herbal Medicine Work?
Herbal medicine restores the body to its natural state of balance and supports its natural ability to self-heal. Rhonda uses a wide range of herbal remedies to help the body's different organ systems. Garlic, for instance is a common herb used not only to flavour dishes but to combat heart disease and high cholesterol. Ginseng is another powerful herb that treats fatigue and increases energy levels.
Herbal medicine comes in several forms. Rhonda can prescribe a blend of 5 or more herbs which can be dispensed to suit your needs. She also suggests herbal tablets and herbs from a variety of suppliers from all over the world for her International Homeopathy 247 business.

What Can You Expect From a Herbal Therapy?

Even though it's safe, herbal medicine shouldn't be taken without the supervision of a qualified herbalist who is trained in tailoring herbal treatments to your specific needs. Your health history, lifestyle habits and diet will be recorded and used to determine which herbs should be included in your treatment plan.
